Question

Consider the following function using jQuery:

function getVal() {
    jQuery.get('/relative/url/', function (data) {
        return data.getElementById('myInput').value;
    }
}

This is basically what I want to do, but I have no idea how it should be done.
The only methods I know would work involve frames or innerHTML which I can’t use because I have to wait for the element to be ready. The only way to do that is to use a callback, and this function must return the value of the element rather than something else.
My logic is likely faulty here, so please feel free to correct me.

Oh, alright. I’ve got it. I don’t think I provided enough information. I assumed context was irrelevant. Alright, here’s an example depicting my solution.

function getVal() {
    $.get('/relative/url/', function (data) {
        $.get('relative/url/2', function (data2) {
            var data_obj = [];
            data_obj.push({
                "data_1":data[i].name
            }, {
                "data_2":$(data).find('#myInput').val()
            });
        });
    }
}
